it is a interesting subject but it went down hill when I put the wings on.

problems I had

1 sides were warped and I did not notice until I glued the wings on.
2 landing gear doors too short and not the right shape for the opening people with more experience could fix that.
3 managed to break the front canopy when I tried to fix the scratch in it. And because the sides were warped it did not set right.
4 if you go by the instructions you will not be able to fit the control panel in. put the panel in first then the floor.
5 Back canopies too long tried to sand one down and sanded too much got a gap pulse with the thing warped does not quite set right.
6 Because the wings do not quite line up everything is off in regards to the mg parts and the landing light and marker lights
7 Mg parts are a tad bit too small all around Again tried to fix them but did not do too good a job and at this point I was ready to throw the kit out.
8 Pe parts sucked I'll leave it at that.
9 the decals were the only good thing to me about this kit went down without a problem but I think the side roundels are a bit too big someone with more experience with British navy kits can tell me if they are.

Fine looking model in my opinion. I really do like the plane though and might look up a bit by another company.
